LaCie 500GB Big Disk Triple Interface Hard Drive

The LaCie big disk 500GB storage solution is an external IEEE 1394 (FireWire) hard drive. This device is ideal for archiving photo image-banks and 3D images, storing massive desktop publishing files and editing audio and uncompressed digital video files. FireWire capabilities offer unbeatable ease of use. It's hot-pluggable for immediate device recognition, and there is no software installation required for Windows XP and Mac OS X users. The drive switches on and off together with the computer to conserve energy. A fan-free design for quiet work environments and desktop real-estate conscious design, make this a reliable device for uncompressed video editing that is more affordable than SCSI or Fibre Channel array devices.
